The term Technopagan is a difficult one, as taken literally it is in and of itself an anachronism. Originally coined by the Christianised Romans to describe the feral and uneducated country folk who lived outside of polite urban society, the term paganus soon became slang for anyone who eschewed the military lifestyle to instead live … Continue reading Technopagan Problems

Abyssal Condition
Among the many misquoted concepts that Crowley has given us, crossing the abyss has to be the most interesting.

Despite everything … Continue reading Solitaire
